Winter sleeping mats

Kurai

We have insulated mats for winter camping, but they are considerably more expensive.

Maybe combine a foam mat like a thermarest sol ?

Many thanks for reply.

Good suggestion.

I WAS doing a test camp the other night in what was supposed to be minus 2.

With a zig-zag karrimor foam mat and a standard (old style) thermarest on top of it, but this combo didn't seem to be quite up to it.

I know that decathlon do a zig-zag foam thing with a silver coated layer -maybe that's better?

I take your valid point about dedicated winter mats being more pricey - a specialist need/market for sure - can I ask what yours is?

I stress that I am not aiming to camp in truly low low conditions - I am after all a cyclist/cycle camper and won't be dragging my bike and ton of junk up a trackless mountain, nor like riding across ice, but just want to sleep easy on a night that MAY dip to minus 2 or 3, then after a good sleep and biding my time in the tent in the morning, fortified by espresso and snacks, venturing out for a cycle/onwards journey in temps at least plus zero.
